CLASSIC PICTURE BOOKS (Ages 3-8)

Transcription

1 CLASSIC PICTURE BOOKS (Ages 3-8) Story and art are equal partners in the world of picture books. Words and pictures work together to lead children--and adults--on a whirlwind tour of the imagination. Some books have a few (or no) words on each page, while others have several paragraphs; art ranges from cartoonish to abstract to painterly. There's something for everyone in this category that covers the silly as well as the sublime. The following list was generated at: 1. THE SNOWMAN by Raymond Briggs Random House, 1978 A boy dreams that the snowman he built comes to life in this tender, wordless picture book. Their magical adventures include flying through the sky. 2.
